Sepang International Circuit (SIC) added to the Formula 1 Kpop extravaganza when they announced that popular South Korean male pop group SHINee will be joining Girls' Generation as joint headline acts at the post-race concert for the 2015 Formula 1 PETRONAS Malaysia Grand Prix on March 29.

This follows the announcement by American rocker Lenny Kravitz who recently cancelled his tour in Asia, including the scheduled performance in Sepang. The concert, to be held at the Helipad in the Sepang Circuit has also been brought forward to an earlier time slot. Gates will open at 500pm after the F1 race, to allow all ticket holders to head to the Helipad at the Sepang Circuit, where the concert will be held.

In a specially customised performance, the two Korean pop idol groups will perform in rotation for two hours, from 6pm to 8pm accompanied by Korean DJ Hitchhiker which will elevate the performance, after which the concert will end by 8:30pm. SHINee and Girls' Generation will be joined by popular local artistes as the opening act.

"We are excited to offer this Kpop extravaganza this year, knowing that there is a significant fan base among Malaysians from all walks of life. This is also in line with our F1 theme 'Experience F1 Like Never Before' and our family-oriented focus this year. Kpop appeals to young and old alike, and will also attract a new audience to come to the Sepang International Circuit to experience the adrenaline-laden atmosphere of Race Day. The rotating performance by the two groups is indeed something new we are offering, and we hope it will make this day even more memorable for all spectators," said Dato' Razlan Razali, CEO of Sepang International Circuit.
